UPDATE: You are free to submit more than one idea, so long as you don’t spam us with posts. To make it simple, let’s set a limit to three song ideas per person. Honor system applies, don’t create dummy email accounts or use proxy/tunnel to mask your IP address!

Yesterday, in our review of The OneUps’ latest album Intergalactic Continuum, we noted the extremely witty and clever track titles for the songs on the album. Now it’s time for you to make up your own title!

Here’s all you have to do: leave a comment on this article that includes a song, or a medley of songs from a game/franchise that you would love to have arranged by The OneUps. Then, give that dream arrangement a clever title. The funkiest (or funniest) entry will win a new, sealed copy of Intergalactic Continuum, courtesy of Mustin Enterprises and OSV. Free shipping within North America, but if you live anywhere else, we may have to ask you to Paypal 5 USD to OSV to cover international shipping. But we’re not limiting the contest to US/Canada residents, so anyone and everyone, feel free to submit your entry! We’ll close entries at noon EST on Thursday, Sept 13 and announce the winner the next day.

And hey, if we’re lucky, maybe The OneUps will use the entries as a source of inspiration. Who knows what we’ll hear at MAGFest 11?!

I would love a medley of songs from Bastion, like Build that Wall, Spike in a Rail, and Setting Sail, Coming Home. You could call it:

Build That Wall and Break it Down

“Castlevania main theme (NES) Nosferatu strikes back!”

“Gravity Man (Mega man) Gravity doesnt effect me!”

“Yamato man (Megaman 10) Way of the warrior”

I dunno how you guys feel about multiple submissions – I don’t want to take unfair advantage, so feel free to ignore this if it’s out of order! – but I’d like to offer an alternate take on mine from earlier. Drop the Koopa Kids theme, and they could call it, “Gotta Beat the Prick to Save the Chick”. Not so much of a direct pun, but the meaning’s clearer that way.

Or, here’s a similar take on different track:

Chrono Cross – Dance With the Lizards
“Reptile Chase With Style and Grace”

Earthbound – Bed and Breakfast

Kid Icarus – Main Theme
Star Fox – Corneria
Earthbound – Pokey

Whoops, meant to say Pokey Means Business in the last post. I feel like that battle theme could be turned into a truly awesome funk session.

Would love to hear a completely arranged Secret of Mana album too. What they did with Into the Thick Of It was brilliant, and I feel like there are many good tracks they can utilize for arranging.

Conspera — you’re missing the second half of the assignment. You have to come up with a clever new name for the song, a la the track names on Intergalactic Continuum. All you’ve done is throw out seven songs you’d like The OneUps to arrange (which is too many!).

Agreed, though, that they did a great job w/ “Into the Thick of It” on OneUps Vol2
